tevens – The Institute of Business & Arts got its start in 1947 as the St. Louis affiliate of Patricia Stevens, a modeling and “finishing” school for young women. Patricia Stevens herself was a working fashion model, and there were many schools bearing her name around the country, but the one in St. Louis was operated by the Klute family. In addition to modeling and comportment classes, young women could also take courses that would aid in them in the post-WWII work world – think secretarial skills. Over the years, Patricia Stevens’ catalog of offerings expanded to include not just short-term certificate and diploma programs, but also Associates and Bachelor’s degrees. The school’s longest-running programs, which are still among its most popular, are the Retail Management/Fashion Merchandising and the Interior Design programs. One other major change to this once-all-girls college was the addition of men. The school now functions as a completely coeducational environment.
it’s always been located in downtown St. Louis, the location changed every 10 years into a new leased space. Alumni may recall our locations on Olive in the 80’s or at Union Station in the 90’s. In 2010, the school moved to its new, permanent location on Washington Avenue in the city’s
revitalized garment district. The building, originally built in 1917 for the Gerorge E Keith shoe factory underwent a $3 million dollar renovation. At this time the school also changed its name to Stevens – The Institute of Business & Arts, or Siba, for short. The changes were made in part to reflect the modernization the college had been undergoing for years; from a modeling school for women to a co-educational college offering a full slate of Associates and Bachelor’s degrees.
Major changes came to the college in 2010. Previously, the school had never Now, seventy years after it began, had a permanent campus. Although Stevens – The Institute of Business
& Arts still honors a long tradition of service to the St. Louis region though its talented alumni, but today we also offer an alternative to students seeking a less-conventional approach to college. For us that means college leadership that’s nimble to the changing professional world and adjustments to curriculum to make students more marketable after graduation. It means honoring our long-standing commitment to small, nurturing classes. And it means cultivating an environment where students can feel free to be themselves. Looking toward the next 70 years, Siba is sure to see more changes, because as we all know the only constant is change, and we welcome the challenge.

Graphic Design Students Present their work to Professionals
impress the professionals. The presentation mentors were numerous professionals who have been/or are currently involved with projects in California that are/ have getting/gotten a lot of media attention.
The students were given an assignment 3 weeks prior to meeting with the pros. The assignment was to create a group of 5 characters including atleast one protagonist. Each student was randomly selected to create their characters based on a design movement. Design eras selected were Art Deco, Victorian, Art Nouveau, Pop Art, Psychedelic, Punk and Arts & Crafts. Clothing, environment and props had to reflect the design era given. Mike Meaker who’s IMDB account is a long list of amazing movies such as Life of Pi (visual effects art director: All of the students took the time during their fall break to work on Rhythm & Hues Studios - as Michael the projects. They work tirelessly Meaker) to develop and create something to 2012
